I was lucky to have caught a Forbes article talking about Birthright Africa, as soon as I finished reading it I knew that I wanted to have Walla Elsheihk on the podcast. It did not take long after I reached out that I got feedback. Walla responded, setting up the interview, which unfortunately got postponed due to the lockdown. In the end, everything worked out, and I am glad that I did not listen to my insecurity and reached out. I enjoyed every minute of this recording. Walla takes us on her j...

Afeez has played and lived in many countries from West to North Africa, then mostly in the Asian continent. Afeez takes us into culture shocks, surprising e...

Abraham also brings us into his motivation for performing, creating stories, and inspirations. Abraham has worked on TV and movie projects, and his jo...

We have our International Women's Day episode. Meet Dr. Connie DePinho, who has a unique story spanning three countries and continents.

I am grateful that Connie chose to share p...
